You\u2019re responsible for testing the scripts and packages for any third-party software you download or install using this functionality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If ChocolateyGet is not present on the device, the JumpCloud agent installs the latest version of it.\n<ul>\n<li>ChocolateyGet requires Windows Powershell 7 and above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The JumpCloud agent will install a specific tested version of Chocolatey regardless of Chocolatey being already installed. If ChocolateyGet is already present on the device, JumpCloud will automatically update it to the latest version. If you update Chocolatey outside the scope of JumpCloud\u2019s Software Management, the agent will upgrade or downgrade it with a specific tested version of Chocolatey.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>JumpCloud checks to see if the application already exists. If the application is present and was installed without ChocolateyGet, there will be an attempt to install the latest version. If the application is present and was installed with Chocolatey, JumpCloud won&#8217;t attempt to re-install it unless&nbsp;you have selected <strong>Keep software package up to date<\/strong> and there is a newer version.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Chocolatey Repository?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chocolatey software packages are stored in Chocolatey repositories. JumpCloud supports two types of Chocolatey repositories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Public&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; Repository hosted by Chocolatey. Chocolatey hosts and manages the software packages on its own servers, as well as imposes its own&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.jumpcloud.com\/support\/s\/article\/Prevent-Chocolatey-Rate-Limiting-in-JumpCloud\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rate limits<\/a>.&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/community.chocolatey.org\/packages\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here<\/a>&nbsp;to view the Chocolatey repository.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Internal&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; Internal repositories are hosted by the organization itself, rather than Chocolatey. This has some advantages, such as no rate limits (if the organization doesn\u2019t set any) and more freedom in terms of what packages can be hosted. You can create custom software packages for your org, host them, and download them to your devices directly. There are two types of repositories:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Proxy Repository&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; Automatically downloads and caches a copy of the software packages from another repository and sends the cached packages when package install requests are made. The advantage of this is eliminating Chocolatey rate limits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Custom Package Repository&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8211; Hosts custom software packages that your organization creates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, see <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/support\/prevent-chocolatey-rate-limiting-in-jumpcloud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prevent Chocolatey Rate Limiting in JumpCloud<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JumpCloud recommends organizations use internal repositories and custom software packages. This provides the organization greater security and control of the package, scripts, and binaries. Internal repositories are also recommended if the organization is experiencing rate limiting using Chocolatey\u2019s Community repository.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installing Software Packages Using Chocolatey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you add an app to a device:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>If <strong>ChocolateyGet<\/strong> is already present on the device, JumpCloud upgrades it. If <strong>ChocolateyGet<\/strong> is not present on the device, it is installed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After the app is installed on the device, <strong>ChocolateyGet<\/strong> remains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apps you create and save are listed on the Software Management page in JumpCloud.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The process to install a software package varies depending on whether it\u2019s a package from the Chocolatey community repository or an internal repository.
